Afternoon Escape
A July afternoon in Haiti gets pretty hot, and for young boys, with school out for the summer, the surf beckons. This was taken from a pier in Jacmel, a town on the southern coast and one of Haiti’s main tourist destinations. The small freighter was shipwrecked in a storm several years previously.
I made six trips to Haiti in the late 1990s doing work for several NGOs (non-governmental organizations). This was a period of relative quiet in the country, and travel was generally fairly safe. This image was made on one of those trips in 1997.
